I'm tempted to agree with just leaving the local links with descriptions unspecified, they are indeed very rarely needed on real wiki sites written in languages like English or even Chinese.
There are two problems:
* Sites that use wiki engines under the hood but are not really wikis -- just some kind of simplified CMS-es. This is not a big problem, as they woudn't benefit from Creole much anyways (no content exchange and very few new users).
* Wiki sites in languages that do complicated things with words, like Polish. It's practically impossible to use page titles in sentences unmodified everywhere, and such sentences sound very unnatural. Suppose you have a "{{{WikiPage}}}" page ("{{{StronaWiki}}}") and you want to write a sentence like "You can find useful information on {{{WikiPage}}}." In Polish, it would be "Możesz znaleźć użyteczną informację na Stron**ie**Wiki." Links with descriptions are the only sane solution. I shall note that the [[http://pl.wikipedia.org|Polish Wikipedia]] is among the top biggest Wikipedias on the list.
On the other hand, additional link markup seems to be a burden for core Creole, something that seems suited for the additional markup... I really can't see the "right" solution here, all of them have their advantages and disadvantages, and none dominates.
